Tommy DeVito, the undrafted quarterback for the New York Giants, turned heads last season by amassing 1,101 yards and scoring eight touchdowns across nine games. Despite these accomplishments, DeVito still feels he has much to prove.
Recently, Cedar Grove, New Jersey, honored DeVito in a modest ceremony at the local municipal building. There, in a room with a mix of attendees, including his family and friends, DeVito received a proclamation and the key to the township. “This recognition from my hometown is incredibly meaningful,” DeVito shared.
DeVito’s path has been defined by resilience. After securing three consecutive wins as a rookie starter, he now faces renewed competition following the Giants’ acquisition of Drew Lock and their efforts to draft quarterback Drake Maye. Despite this, DeVito remains focused. “I’ve always been in a position where I needed to prove myself,” he said. “My goal is to control my efforts and continue working hard.”
Giants General Manager Joe Schoen praised DeVito’s progress but stressed the need for further development. To prepare, DeVito spent his offseason in Fort Lauderdale, enhancing his physical conditioning and studying the Giants’ playbook. Reflecting on his first season, DeVito admitted, “At times, I was too aggressive. I’ve learned to be more strategic and take what the defense offers.”
Coach Brian Daboll has provided DeVito with constructive feedback, emphasizing his strong composure and identifying areas for growth. With a full offseason to train, DeVito is eager to showcase his improvement. “I’ve learned a lot and I’m looking forward to building on that foundation,” he said.
Determined to prove himself once again, Tommy DeVito is set to solidify his role with the Giants while proudly representing his roots in Cedar Grove.
